PLOT: In 1930s Britain, three young aristocratic women find love as the world around them slowly descends into war._IMDb

01) More Episodes, Please? (amyjbagnall  Aug 27, 2020): I loved this show! So much! I was just so disappointed when it ended after only 3 episodes! Broke my heart! Such a good mini-series!

02) The Joy of watching Rosamund Pike  (migoe44 Jul 29, 2008): This is generally brilliant entertainment even if the political bits are clichéd and pointless esp the Spanish War scenes. But Rosamund Pike (as Fanny) is utterly spellbinding . You'll rarely encounter such photogenic beauty on film. The camera adores her and so do I. Some may find this comment lacking in gravitas or even frivolous. But forgive me - I'm in love !!

Of course "Love in a Cold Climate" has more going for it. It's a superb insight into the foibles and eccentricities of that most fortunate of social groupings - the English aristocracy of the inter-war period where fascism masqueraded as inherited privilege.

And the whole period is lavishly recreated and technically superb. Alan Bates is great fun as the sewer hating head of house who makes ingenious use of a bureau drawer to soothe his volatile temper.

But all else matters not a jot. What stands this costume piece apart is the astonishing radiance of the exquisite Rosamund Pike. I wholeheartedly recommend this study of happy English whimsy.

(03) It was a very elegant..  (betanc5  Feb18, 2002): It is elegant and historically accurate. But it needs to be elaborated upon a bit more, specially Poly and Fanna, since Linda and the Duke (Samuel Labathe), have been eliminated by death. Also Linda's yougest sister (the one that wants to run away) needs to be told out if possible. The follow up must be finished with the original actors that they have started with in the PBS/BBC production, they have been all well chosen for it.
